Important notes on exam registration

  • ONAS: online assistant for the notification of examination topics and examiners for the basic and specialization modules of the degree programs Diplom Informatik and Master Computer Science as well as the bridge / supplementary and specialization modules in the elective area of the Master Media Computer Science program via the Examination Office
    SELMA: is the leading examination administration system for all degree programs in Computer Science. Registration and admission via this portal is mandatory and a prerequisite for participation in every examination (including preliminary examinations)
    IMPORTANT: Module registration must take place BEFORE exam registration. The examination performance is not visible without module registration!
  • If you have already registered in lists during lectures or in OPAL and ONAS , this does NOT replace exam registration via SELMA.
    Only the Studium Generale is excluded. Registration via SELMA is not possible here.
  • If technical problems occur during online registration or if it is not possible to register for an examination, please send a full-page screenshot of the screen to the Examination Office for Computer Science ( ) within the respective registration period.
  • Please check the room and time in the examination schedule again the day before the examination, as changes at short notice cannot be ruled out.
  • Due to the large number of compulsory elective modules, overlapping dates cannot be avoided.
  • Exam registration is only possible if you are enrolled in the respective degree program.
